truth on hold

Yeah really, what are the these huge differences between how a Romney or Obama administration would play out, which cause these great divides on popular media and a naseum peeing matches on ppp? Let's have a look at some issues: Healthcare: carbon copies left on the printer Gun control : both afraid of NRA won't even revisist the matter in the wake of back to back slaughters Abortion: Would require over turning a 40 yr old 7-2 supreme court ruling. Non issue in any practical sense Defense policy: both hawks Foreign policy : both Israel and Saudi lap dogs Budget : Neither party's going anywhere on this with both blaming the other. Reality is neither wants to reduce spending because government spending of all kinds is how they appease special interest groups and buy voters. Opposing party is just a convenient scapegoat. Taxes: maybe marginally lower under Romney, skewing the burden a bit more from high to low income;, but without massive spending cuts there's very little that can be done here anyway Gay marriage: other than some gays and some "culture warriors" who really cares ? Curb executive power: all the recent admins have waged war on states rights using terrorism as the excuse Environment : it's written by the big polluters, no major differences here. I'm sure there are some others. But you get the picture. The talking heads like oreilly hannity bagalla get millions for creating the specter of some bitter divide that as an administration matter simply does not exist. The only way out of the box I see is a leader emerges and levels with the American people, delivering the message the system f@cked up, these people aren't representing your or the countrys best interest, I'll watch your back you watch mine. Also an innovator who can use technology to disintermediate the middle man (corrupt politicians in this case). Use the Internet for public opinion polls to see what Americans really want , like they do in Germany Someone like mayor mike bloomberg comes to mind. Has billions more than romney from actually creating his own thriving business, has shown good practical non partisan solutions and can't be bought like that phoney "I'm my own man" Romney Bottom line: when a systems f@*#ed up you can't look for the system to fix itself. It just gets more f##*ed up. Exactly what we're seeing. Need a "great man in history" kind of hero to lead in changing it.

Defense really has to respect RG's speed and left a lot of room over the middle. If he has an arm he can be special

Turning on "camp Romney". At least quote the post properly dumb ass, details matter. Theyre calling for the senior Romney spokesperson to be fired.

Lol figured Defense Contractor Tom would chime in to defend the status quo.

Getting so bad even rightie talking head loons Coulter and Limbaugh are turning on camp Romney http://www.opposingviews.com/i/politics/2012-election/video-ann-coulter-and-rush-limbaugh-attack-romney-spokeswoman-andrea-saul Campaign that had a window of opportunity against an incumbant and real promise is crumbling so fast I almost feel sorry for the guy. Not that he didnt bring a lot on himself though.

".... Americans argue among themselves why their freak is better than the other freak. They will get angry with you if you call their freak a freak. They will actually fight and die to defend their freaks ... It is extraordinary that millions of americans actually believe fervently that it matters whether Romney freak or Obama freak gets elected." http://www.paulcraig...essed-majority/ -------------------- Preach on Brother! Goes off on Pelosi, Rove, etc. etc. too ... pretty much the whole rotten lot of them. Voters have no real choice anymore, the checks ain't balancing.

Chan looks like he's going full Deliverance on those refs.

Lol Rex Grossman. I want my NFL pass money back

Heck of a throw from Fitz to chandler

Looks like the liberal media conspiracy is giving you gas Doc. Better turn on faux news fast!

Hot off the presses, it's trending more negative for Mitt. August 9, 2012 By Carolyn Kaster, Charles Dharapak, AP Another poll, another lead for President Obama. A CNN/ORC International survey puts the incumbent president ahead of challenger Mitt Romney, 52% to 45%. " Mitt Romney's unfavorable rating is up, most Americans think the Republican presidential challenger favors the rich, and the public no longer believes that the economy will get better if Romney is elected," CNN reported. CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said, "among independent voters, the poll indicates President Obama has a 53%-42% lead -- The president holds a nine point advantage among women voters and a smaller six point edge among men." Several recent polls have given an edge to Obama. While Romney's favorable rating has remained steady (47% now compared to 48% in July), his unfavorable rating has jumped from 42% last month to 48% now. The president's 56%-42% favorable-unfavorable rating now is little changed. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/08/cnn-poll-obama-52-romney-45/1#.UCQwZYlhic0

Doc, you act like all the economic stuff is some guarded, well kept secret. When in fact how people are doing is something they're aware of EVERY SINGLE DAY. If the perception of a) the economy being so bad versus b) Mitt being so superior in making it better and c) it's dwarfs all other considerstions, why isn't Mitt-ahead in the polls? It's not like he'll be able to release some mythical Greek Kraken of economic data and destroy Obama before the election. ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT GDP, UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, DEFICITS, ENERGY PRICES, ETC ETC ... ALREADY KNOWS THE NUMBERS.

If he wants to go full white trash it will displayed in the front yard on cinder blocks

Recession is successive quarters of contraction. Economy's not in a recession. Not sure what you keep trying to say. And if youre right it's all about the economy why does yout boy mitt keep running around trying to make it about gun rights, tax reform, more hawkish "defense" and Israel ?

Caught on the bear-cam!

Economys not doing so great (but not in recession) and Romneys behind. Than what's your argument for him winning ?

Children children children (of the corn?) wake up. Stop reacting with emotional bias and see things for what they really are. Camp Romney had the primary locked up months ago and instead of turning their attention to countering the telegraphed Obama camp attacks did nothing but extend deeper into religious slander to appease pro Israel donors. After seeing first hand how Gingrich lost the lead after doing the same, and worse going into a general election where that kind of thing will be even less well received!!! If you recall I started out marginally pro Romney for leadership on the economy where BO is a dud. Well Romney nows gotten stuck with negative associations that will be hard to shake and the best political orator of our time BO hasn't even spoken yet. WAKE UP ROMNEY CAMP IS LETTING YOU DOWN. Stop hatin on the people pointing out the obvious.

Lol that and the shiner

Unforunately this may be true. The little snippets coming out on him all along have been negative. Sucks we had a chance to steal a badly needed 1st round talent at qb and now looks like we'll be stuck with another year of a career backup backing up a career backup.

"Labor Day is weeks away, but the battle of the summer is over— the unreleased tax returns, easily foreseen Bain attacks, Olympic stumbles, inept tax plan, and other calamities that sank Romney." http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/08/08/mitt-romney-lost-the-summer-tax-returns-overseas-gaffes-more.html Ive posted this before, the Romney team seemed totally unprepared for the expected attacks on Bain and his taxes. Now when people hear "Bain" the word association is "job killer", and "Romney" immediately conjures up "hiding tax disclosure". His comments on the Palestineans which may have appeased the pro-Israel campaign donors, have made him look like a unbalanced, insensitive freak to others. The primary candidates Gingrich and Santorum who said similar things BOTH LOST, and Romney should have realized part of his appeal was to moderates who didn't see him as religious-basher. His team is looking incompetent and apathetic, and his campaign's dying a slow and painful death before our eyes. Hard to see what turns this ship around.

Well no actually, something can look odd but upon further inspection turn out to be coincidental. Doesn't necessitate something sinister was taking place beneath the surface. This is more the classic "I don't like what he's saying about a team I'm partial to so I'll try to put words in his mouth - "so that's a yes?"- to draw a conclusion he can't defend."

What "claim"? That i found something odd? Lol. and provided the observable reasons why I found it odd ? 2x lol Youre the one reading s lot into it.

Nope lol not going to get me to go there. I obviously don't have the wherewithall to prove anything. Just noting it as odd.

I'm just pointing out it was curious how blatant it was in a conference championship against one of the game's highest profile players.

They both cheated and got caught. Of course others have, for example jimmy Johnson had spies watching bills super bowl practices. Of the 2 "convicted" cheaters I think saints violations more integral to their success. They got away with murder against favre in the NFC championship game. the horrible INT he threw in OT instead of easily running for 1st down can be traced to the ankle injury he suffered earlier on the blatantly illegal (but curiously not called double high-low hit)
